For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A wave of recent experiments is now tearing at those boundaries, revealing ...

The manipulation of metals as they transform from a liquid to a solid can have immense benefits for technologies. A new study finds that the manipulation of stationary atoms in a liquid metal can ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

A GIF showing ion movement in an organic electrolyte in both a disordered fluid state and a self-assembled crystalline state. Green dots representing negative ions move erratically between long, ...

Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute zero ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The manipulation of metals as they transform from a liquid to a solid can have immense benefits for technologies. A new study finds that the ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...
